This issue also delivers global perspectives, from China’s evolving iron ore independence strategy to Canada’s promising lithium projects. We highlight the volatility in iron ore and copper prices, review strategic acquisitions across North and South America, and profile thought leaders like Pransanajit Mishra of Mining Today.
Underground mining developments, from Q-Gold’s geochemical programs to Clean TeQ’s dewatering advances, round out a comprehensive look at the industry’s opportunities and challenges.
